Dr Harsh Vardhan chairs event on \u2018World Food Day\u2019 organized by FSSAI<\/h2>\n

New Delhi, October 16<\/p>\n

Dr Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare today presided over an event to celebrate \u2018World Food Day\u2019. The event was organized by FSSAI. This year\u2019s theme is\u00a0Grow, Nourish, Sustain. Together.<\/em> Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare joined the program through video conference.<\/p>\n

Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that due to the unprecedented challenges faced by the world on account of the pandemic, there has been a renewed focus on food, nutrition, health, immunity and sustainability. \u201cFSSAI\u2019s Eat Right India<\/em> movement targets to promote safe and healthy food for everyone in an environmentally sustainable way.\u00a0 It is a part of its mandate to provide safe and wholesome food for all citizens. This will improve the food safety ecosystems and lift the hygiene and health of our citizens\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

A key focus<\/span> this year is elimination of\u00a0Trans Fats<\/strong> from the food supply chain. A food toxin present in Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (PHVOs) (e.g. vanaspati, shortening, margarine, etc.), baked and fried foods, Trans Fat is a major contributor to the rise in non-communicable diseases in India. Dr. Harsh Vardhan stated, \u201cTrans fat is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Eliminating CVD risk factor is especially relevant during COVID-19 as people with CVD are predisposed to have serious conditions having an impact on mortality.\u201d He reminded everyone of the government\u2019s effort to make India Trans Fat free by 2022, a year ahead of WHO\u2019s target, in synergy with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a New India on 75\u00a0<\/sup>years of the country\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

Reiterating the game changing potential of \u2018Eat Right India<\/em>\u2019 and \u2018Fit India Movement<\/em>\u2019, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, \u201cThese two movements along with Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Jal Jeevan Mission and other efforts of the Environment Ministry will improve the health of Indians and heal the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expressing his amazement at the marvels of the internet where curious citizens can look up things on the whole gamut of information available, he asked officials of FSSAI to promote awareness and consumer education leveraging technology so that informed citizens can make responsible choices.<\/p>\n

He launched the Eat Right Creativity Challenge for schools which is a poster and photography competition and aims to promote healthy dietary habits. He also launched the \u2018Eat Smart City\u2019 (challenge) by FSSAI in partnership with Smart City Mission and The Food Foundation,UK which will create an environment of right food practices and habits in India\u2019s smart cities and can set an example for other cities to follow.<\/p>\n

Dr. Harsh Vardhan launched a number of books\/guidelines on the occasion:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Food Safety and Hygiene Guidelines for Safe Reopening of School Canteen\/Mess- document that highlights the best practices to be followed in the \u2018New normal of COVID-19\u2019 by all the stakeholders.
